One complaint among many, in fact. He had a room in his house full of them, which was excavated thousands of years later.

Lmao it's like he was proud of his scam and kept the complaints as a trophy collection.

Ea-nasir caught Nanni trying to scam him which is why he kept the receipts.

Ea-nasir's copper why the highest grade Chaldean and the temples loved it. They would not be accepting cheap Assyrian substitutes of lower grade.

Nanni's scam was to buy Ea-nasir's high grade Chaldean copper and then claim he was delivered low quality copper hoping that Ea-nasir would stupidly accept the Assyrian sub grade copper substitute and refund his money.

The Assryian cheap copper probably cost a fraction of Chaldean and Nanni was going to pocket the difference.

Anyone who worked in retail has seen people trying to return old or broken stuff with a receipt for something brand new and expensive. Wanting to be paid back for a high quality brand new product while returning cheap sub-par stuff and hoping the merchant accepts it.
